Battle Breaks Out

General Summary

The time has come, armies have prepared, and now armies march for war. The drow were not given time to prepare for a siege, so the combined armies of the Kingdom of Fjordhaven and the Arbour Kingdom march to save former citizens from all across Pandora from the slavery of the drow. The armies of Kingdom of Fjordhaven focus on the drow's efforts to cart skilled slaves away from the battle, cutting off thier attempts of escape, then returning to safe territory of the south with their emancipated peoples, while Bombo forged deeper into the city alone. Small portions of the army remained at the shoreline, preparing an area to treat any wounded brought from the front. With the aid of adventurers, they managed to defend the shoreline from a surprise raid. Diving deeper into the city proper, the head of the drow encampment was slain, sending the chain of command into chaos, leaving the heart of the city vulnerable to incursion by the Drake Riders of the Arbour Kingdom and a few brave adventurers. There they found the ritual keeping the realm blanketed in darkness. The adventurers stormed in through a gap made by the drake riders and quickly disrupting the ritual, returning day to Pandora. With any sense of leadership in shambles and strategic loss after loss, the central thrust of Arbour's armies attempted to push break through the enemies lines that were slowly beginning to envelop them by sheer number. But by the brazenness and hubris of some of the soldiers that day, instead their attempts at a break out only left them further divided. Though, with the command structure gone and the vast majority of the drow army being slaves, rather than taking the opportunity to wipe out the armies of the Arbour Kingdom completely, they broke away from the city, escaping into the surrounding forests.
